New from Springfield, MO - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smsdm02 · 07-20-2008, 01:19 PM

Hello all! New guy here from beautiful Springfield, MO. I will be picking up my 1970 CST from my girlfriend's dad in about a week, so wish me luck on my first classic truck...

Good thing he will be helping, since he builds and races dirt track and drag cars.

OHHHH and 70 CST (my fav yr) can't wait for you to post pictures. Welcome, from central Indiana. Good luck on your build.

smsdm02 · 07-25-2008, 04:29 PM

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!

Now, I begin the brain picking...

Does anyone know of a reputable website or place where I could find out production numbers, options, and any or all basic information about the 70 CST?

Also, does anyone have advice for a first timer? I am totally new to the game, since my only real work I have done on autos had stemmed from replacing a 77 Oldsmobile front end body and wiring with a 78 front end body and wiring as a result of a pretty bad crash when I was 16.

Thanks in advance!

smsdm02 · 07-30-2008, 05:25 PM

A couple of things,
I am sorry to say that the 70 CST I was planning on getting is going to be out of the question for me, because of issues with not having a motor or transmission and not having the $ right now to find said items.

Which brings me to my next point, if anyone knows of a 69-72 chevy in the southwest Missouri area that runs and is reasonably priced (does not have to be pretty), I would be interested in any and all information you could give me, since I will be on the lookout from now on.

Oh, and if you are interested in a 70 CST that has a lot done to it, but does not come with motor or tranny, pm me and I will forward you information.

Thanks in advance and it's great to be a part of this board, even though I don't have a ride yet.

Josh, do you have any pics of the '70?

smsdm02 · 07-30-2008, 11:04 PM

I don't have pics of the 70, but I think I can come up with some pretty easily in the next week or so.

Thanks for the welcome messages as well.
